They must have missed the meeting where instructions on manipulating Trump were passed out. You never say "you can't do that" because he's a contrarian narcissist, and so now whether he does it or not, he definitely is more motivated to do it.
No, you invite him to visit or send an envoy to the White House (or even better, Mar-a-Lago), and make sure they give him a gold plated statue that says "best boy," with enough filigree to cause eye cancer, put it on a oversized Corinthian base, and tell him it's a monument to the special relationship your countries share. Now he'll go back to destroying the US from within (lucky us Americans!) and leave you alone.
Nah man, fuck Trump, don't cater to his desires.
I hope more and more people start treating him like the moron he is.
Make the first ever Greenland Honorary Peace Prize, then make a medal that is heavy on a fancy ribbon and invite Mango Mussolini to the ceremony, which will be held at a five star hotel in Montreal, to receive his prize.
It's cheaper to hold the ceremony in another country and just send delegates .... and make the medal solid steel plated with a bit of gold. Make sure to engrave a picture of the Cheeto in Chief on the medal.
Make the first ever Greenland Honorary Peace Prize
It can be made of frozen blubber, covered with gold leaf. Then it can rot and stink just like its recipient.
Just paint some uranium.
ceremony, which will be held at a five star hotel
is the hotel four seasons total landscaping?
Fuck this is so right. Hell even sending him a beautiful letter does the trick.
They already went through all that though. He has shown pretty persistent in this, most likely because some people around him keep pushing the issue to him.
Tell it to Poutine and Netscapeyahoo too
Trump is a rapist and a conman. He believes he has the right to take whatever he can from anyone he thinks is weaker than him. Bullies like him need to be stood up to. Glad to hear Greenland and Denmark are standing strong.
We're going to be a global embarrassment long, long after the rapist is buried.
It wont matter that he's dead or not, all the rich fucks that put him there will still exist and will continue to reap the rewards from their bribes/donations.
That can be solved if we just cumulatively grow a fucking backbone.
Agreed, but how and when? Will the US look like Iran or North Korea before people finally grow that backbone?
You know, if America invaded and annexes Greenland, that would be an article 5 worthy event, meaning war with Canada and all of NATO, which would also mean Putin (Trump's friend) could take Eastern Europe and maybe more.
Basically it will aid Putin and eliminate a group of countries America sees as competitors. Trump wants that.
Yes, it will help putin. It will also isolate the usa more and speed up the abandonment of their companies. If we pull article 5, many will drop microsoft, alphabet, meta, google come what may. You won't keep your data in a country you fight a war against.
All a distraction. Release the Epstein Files.
Ok, but it really isn't.
At least, it's a distraction the same way and hitting yourself in the knee with a hammer distracts from your headache. It may be a distraction, but it's still just as serious of a problem.
Oh it's serious. I am not downplaying how big of a serious thing this is.
I'm only remarking that It's also a big orchestrated distraction.
